Plan

After talking about the things which still needed to be carried out we drew up a plan together so that we have a strict order in which each task needs to be done. This will be helpful as we will be able to refer to it to make sure that everything that needs to be sorted is done, and to make sure that we don't forget to do anything of importance.

Choosing the actors/actresses

We watched the auditions back within our group and decided between us who we thought would be suitable for each part. We then informed the people of the parts that they had been given, and they are all willing to still be in our teaser trailer.
